Challenger's Approach is a mode in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate where the player can rematch an unlockable character they previously failed to unlock. This mode is available in the Games & More menu after a rematch becomes available.

Upon a fresh save file, the player only has access to eight playable characters: Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus, Yoshi, Kirby, Fox, and Pikachu. As time passes and certain prerequisites are met, characters appear that the player can challenge. If the battle is won, that character is added to the roster as playable. If the battle is lost, the challenger disappears. However, after a while, a gate icon will appear in the bottom-right corner of the Games & More section. Upon selecting this icon, the challenger can be rematched, with the same stage, music, and CPU level.

Originally, if the player lost an initial challenger fight, that challenger would reappear under the Challenger's Approach mode after performing approximately 400 in-battle actions. This requirement was the same regardless of who the challenger was, how many other characters were unlocked or challenged, or which method was originally used to issue the Challenger Approaching fight. There was no wait time requirement. Challenger's Approach could appear after doing anything that would cause a Challenger Approaching fight to appear, such as exiting World of Light. If the conditions for both were met at the same time, a Challenger Approaching fight would take priority over the Challenger's Approach notification.

Starting in update version 4.0.0,[1][2] Challenger's Approach now appears immediately after losing to a challenger. As a result, the tutorial page stating that rematches will appear "after a while" no longer appears normally, and can only be seen by manually pressing Y on the Challenger's Approach mode or from the How to Play menu.

When the Challenger's Approach mode appears, an in-game screen will notify the player. This screen will reappear each time the mode appears. The player may press Y on this screen to immediately go to the Challenger Approaching screen. If a Challenger's Approach rematch becomes available but the mode is already there (e.g. from an earlier challenger that the player hasn't accepted the rematch for yet), the challenger will silently queue up behind the existing challenger(s) and no in-game notification will appear.

Prior to the update, if multiple characters became eligible for a rematch at the same time, they would queue up approximately in order by fighter number (for example, Dark Samus would appear first). However, for unknown reasons, Richter appeared before Inkling and Simon appeared after King K. Rool. After the update, it is no longer possible for multiple characters to become rematch-eligible at once. In any version, if multiple characters queue up (become silently eligible for rematches) one at a time instead of all at once, they will just appear in the order they became eligible instead of by fighter number order.

Prior to the update, if the player lost a Challenger's Approach fight, the same mechanics would apply as losing any other Challenger Approaching fight: the character would become eligible for another rematch after 400 more in-battle actions. Regardless of if the player won or lost, if any other character(s) remained in the queue, the Challenger's Approach mode would still be available and the player could immediately rematch the next character in the queue. If no other characters remained in the queue, the Challenger's Approach mode would disappear. After the update, a new Continue menu with a rematch button appears immediately after losing a Challenger's Approach fight, alongside an option to change the player's character and a quit button. Similar to World of Light, this Continue menu also appears if the user tries to quit the match from the Pause menu. If the user chooses the quit button, the current challenger will move to the back of the queue.

If a character in the Challenger's Approach queue is unlocked through the World of Light, that character will silently disappear from the queue and the remaining order will not change. If that was the last character in the queue, the Challenger's Approach mode will silently disappear.

Shortly after Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was first released nearly 3 years ago, I set out on a goal to get every fighter into Elite Smash. Back then, I didn't know there'd be 86 characters total as DLC was still being unveiled and released. After many struggles, I was finally able to achieve this goal earlier this month.

To achieve Elite Smash with a fighter, a certain amount of GSP (Global Smash Power) needs to be attained by winning more than losing. In the days leading up to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's release, those with the Elite Smash rank were described as being "good" by Masahiro Sakurai himself.

This has become something of a meme within the Smash community as... not everyone in Elite Smash are necessarily good players. It's fairly easy to find a clip of an Elite Smash player doing some rather silly things that make you question how they were able to get that much GSP in the first place.

All 3 of these characters each required several months of attempts for me to successfully acquire elite status. Now that their runs are behind me, I find that I'm now quite comfortable with these characters after having spent so much time trying to boost their GSP.

If you start losing, however, you tend to get less GSP from wins. The amount of GSP you get from winning is somewhat based on your win rate. Needless to say, how the GSP system awarded points just felt bizarre at times.

Should you run into an opponent that rage quits before a match ends, you'll be awarded no points. I remember this one time with Sheik where I basically 3-stocked a Simon player just before he ended the match prematurely.

Had I acquired the points, I would've had enough points to get Sheik into Elite Smash. Following this, I went on a losing streak that prevented me from getting Sheik into Elite Smash until months later.

I knew there were a few easy ways to get characters into Elite Smash by adjusting the "preferred rules" in just the right way. For example, it would've been beneficial to turn on Final Smashes for characters like Peach, Daisy and Zelda because their Final Smashes are just blatantly broken.

But that wouldn't have been a true victory in my eyes. I stuck to tournament rulesets during each character run, though I would occasionally be forced to play some other odd ruleset set by someone else.

It took nearly 3 years, but I was eventually able to get all 86 characters into Elite Smash. What started with the decision to just get Ridley into Elite Smash ended with a 3-stock victory as the Pokmon Trainer.

In the beginning, you feel totally out of sorts - like lashing out at everyone, crying over everything, wearing the same sweatpants for a week insane. Then over time, you only feel a bit odd now and then - like I'm a 5'2 woman unwilling to let go of the 6'1 man's tweed suit from circa 1950 that's hanging in my closet.

Think about it - it makes total sense. Whether the loss was sudden or you could anticipate it, as soon as you understood and accepted that someone you love was dead or dying, you began the grueling work of grieving.

If ever a rationale for temporary insanity was needed, one could certainly be found among the range of reactions and emotions associated with grief and loss: shock, numbness, sadness, despair, loneliness, isolation, difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, irritability, anger, increased or decreased appetite, fatigue or sleeplessness, guilt, regret, depression, anxiety, crying, headaches, weakness, aches, pains, yearning, worry, frustration, detachment, isolation, questioning faith - to name a few.

Understandably, many will find it hard to acclimate to these emotions. One day you're walking along like usual, and the next day you feel like an alien has invaded your body; your actions and reactions have become totally unpredictable and confusing.

In search of something familiar, you look to your primary support system, your family and friends, but they seem changed as well; some avoid you, some dote on you, some are grieving in ways you don't understand, and some are critical of the way you are handling things. Everyone is searching for the new normal.

Just when you start to get a grip (or not), you must step back into your pre-grief life. It seems absurd that the world would keep moving in the face of your tragedy, but it has. Sadly most grievers can't abandon their duties for long--parent, employee, bill payer, pants-wearer--you now have to figure out how to continue to exist in the roles that have been yours since before the death.

Alas, that is not all. You must also incorporate new roles and duties, the ones you inherited when your loved one died - mowing the lawn, balancing the household budget, single parenting, closing old bank accounts, dealing with insurance, taking in grandchildren. People tell you, 'God never gives you more than you can bear.' Well, we're seriously testing that theory.

Sometimes even more disorienting is the emptiness felt by those who have fewer responsibilities due to the loss. Perhaps you have spent the past year dealing with treatments and prescriptions, appointments, prayers, and hospice. Now that these things are no longer necessary, your life, which was on hold to be a caregiver, must be restarted.

Or perhaps you're a parent whose life was previously made colorful by a child and fast-paced by parenting duties. Now you find yourself waking up in the morning to rush through the before school routine, only to realize there's no one to hurry out of bed or call to breakfast.

Right around now is when your grief may really start to make you feel like you're going crazy (you're not). Friends don't know what to say to you anymore. You are supposed to be back to work, school, the PTA, but you don't feel the same.

You're worried you're alienating people by talking about your loved one and the death. You're confused about your purpose. Everything you knew about life has changed. You're questioning your faith and life's meaning. You're wondering if you are supposed to be getting better, and you can no longer see the world in color.
